Favorite celebrity chef/food personality?

[Heidict]

Andrew Zimmern's new show. Love the history lesson along with some yummy food.

 

[RangerPooh]

Honestly I don;t know names other than Gordon Ramsey, Robert Irvine (loved their restaurant shows, sad they ended). Love Duff. If there's a cookie/cake/cupcake challenge on tv I'll watch it. I often find my girls watching and taping them. Enjoy watching the new and old seasons of Unwrapped.

Since you enjoy food history you might enjoy a book by Waverly Root called "Food".

That looks awesome. Somehow reminds me of that show "The Supersizers."

Who/what is Mayo head?

 

[Simba's Mom]

My two favorites are Anne Burrell and Alex Guarnaschelli. For both of them the reason is that, beyond the tough exterior, they have a really warm side. I remember Anne Burrell on some show where chefs were trying out for a job as a chef at a particular restuarant and she was so supportive. Alex G, I saw her as a tough, almost rude, judge on "Chopped" until I saw her on some other competition show, where she was competing and lost. Then she became one of the biggest supporters/helpers for the person who beat her (I'm thinking it was my hometown boy, Geoffrey Zakarian).

Alton Brown is my favorite though I also really like Jamie Oliver.

I love Chopped and pretty much all of the judges there.

DH & I are big fans of Top Chef. We both like Tom Colicchio.

I've been to Craft and Craftsteak a number of times. Craftsteak is one of my favorite meals in Vegas. That guy know's what he's doing; his restaurants are consistently delicious. I wish he'd be a judge on Chopped! I enjoy Top Chef but like the "one off" time of food show better.

 

[luvsJack]

Guy Fieri
Bobby Flay
Gordon Ramsey
Ree Drummond
Duff

I actually get a lot of info that I use from Ree. Not always recipes but definitely techniques and ideas and of course, several full on recipes.

Would love to go to restaurants owned by Bobby and Gordon.

Duff and Guy, I just like. They seem like people that would be enjoyable to be around.


My least favorite and the only I one I actually refuse to watch is Ina Garten. Sorry, but her refusal to do a wish for Make A Wish, just turned me off of her forever.

 

[amberpi]

My girls watch all the cooking/baking shows. I tease them but find myself watching things like “Cookie Baking Challenge” when I have a TiVo full of first run TV yet to watch. I like Master Chef and Gordon Ramsey. He reminds me a lot of my dad in the kitchen. Nicest guy ever but brutal on the line. I also like Aaron Sanchez.

I love the way Aaron's name is pronounced. I just like the mouth feel of it. Now my cat is looking at me weird as I say it over and over.

I don’t like Ina either...
“If you can’t find good_______, store bought is fine.”

Give me a break. Get out of here with that pretentious crap.

 

[Jennasis]

Not sure there is a celebrity chef I don't like? Maybe Bobby Flay? We like a lot of the cooking shows out there. Top Chef is probably out favorite.

I like his history. He seems like he’d be tough on you in the kitchen but only because he wants you to succeed. I also love the way he says, “tacos.” He makes my favorite all time food sound sexy.

 

[Gumbo4x4]

Ina & Ree both have kind of blah personalities, but there’s a ton of good content in their shows. So, that makes them worth watching.

Giada’s only real appeal is visual, and since DW is straight, we usually change channnels about the time she comes on.
